3. ln a remote control latch, the combination ot a latching unit, an actuator unit remotelylocated from said latching unit and provided with an actuator plate and a rotating actuatori and connections between said latching unit and actuator unit the latter including a lever arranged to be moved by the rotating actuator to translate and re verse the. rotary motion ot the rotating actuator into a rectilinear motion ot the sliding bolt.

4. In a remote control latch7 the combination of a latching unit provided with a sliding bolt, an actuator unit remotely located from said latchiug unit and provided with an actuator plate, a lever pivoted thereon and a rotzny actuator supported thereby, and draft connections between said lever and the remote latehing unit, said lever arranged for translating and reversing the rot-ary `Inotion of said rotary actuator into a rec-, tilinear :motion ot said latch bolt Where--l by the bolt is Withdrawn upon operating the said actuator,

ln a remote control latch7 'or automobile doors, the combination otl a latehing unit provided with a sliding bolt, an actuator unit having a 'vertical rotary spindle journaled thereon and extending up through' the garnish moulding and having a rotary motion only'and connections between the sliding bolt carried by the latch and the vertical rotary spindle for translating and reversing the motion developed in the rotary spindle into a rectilinear motion for operating the sliding bolt.

6. ln a 'remote control latch, the combination of a latching unit, an actuator unit which includes an actuator plate7 a rotary actuator supported thereby, a lever pivotally supported on said plate, connections between the latching unit and the lever supported in said actuator unit, said lever formed with an ear Which permits the rotary actuator of the actuating unit to engage said ear for the purpose of imparting motion to said lover for translating and reversing the rotary motion ol the actuator into a rectilinear motion of the latch units.

7. In a remote control latch, the combination of a latching unit provided with a sliding bolt, an actuator unit comprising an actuator plate a vertical rotary spindle journaled thereon and a lever pivoted thereon, and a draft men'iber for connecting the lever to the sliding bolt whereby motion imparted to'said lever is reversed and translated into a rectilinear motion otl the sliding bolt, said draft connection provided with means which permits a quickly detachable and lost motion connection between the draft member, lever and latching unit.

8. ln a remote control latch for automobile bodies, the combination ot a latching unit, an actuator unit, positioned remote from said latching unit, said actuator unit including a vert-ical spindle actuator and a lever pivoted to the actuator plate, and a draft connection between said pivoted lever and the bolt of said remote latch unit Wl1ereby the rotary motion of the vertical spindle will be reversed and translated into a rectilinear motion for retracting the bolt.

In testimony whereof I have aliixed my signature.
